I can’t tell you how many times our IPad or iPod has saved our sanity while traveling with our 3 kids. Being on the lookout for fun and educational apps is always a must. We love that PBS kids always has something new to offer and, for free!
Just in time for the busy holiday travel season, PBS KIDS has made their popular PBS KIDS Video app for iPad now available for iPhone and iPod Touch! The app provides families free, streaming access to more than 2,000 videos – including clips and full episodes – from favorite PBS KIDS series. The app will offer kids quality educational content on those long holiday trips and well into the New Year.
The app includes clips and full episodes from PBS KIDS series like THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT!, DINOSAUR TRAIN, CURIOUS GEORGE, SUPER WHY, SESAME STREET, WORDGIRL and WILD KRATTS .
The PBS KIDS Video App also features helpful tools for parents such as:
· Access to local PBS station TV schedules
· Additional information about TV series, including intended age and learning goals
· The ability to download related educational apps and TV episodes directly from the App Store and iTunes
· Marking series as “favorites”
· Sharing videos via email, Facebook and Twitter
Happy Holidays and we hope you enjoy this new app from PBS Kids!
When I travel with my kids, my iPad is a lifesaver. I use it for everything and the kids love playing with it while we are on the road. The PBS website is one of their favorite apps to play games. I use the DISH Remote Access app for them to watch a little TV. I have the Sling Adapter hooked up to my receiver on my employee account through DISH Network and having that gives me access to all my subscription channels and DVR recordings. The kids can watch live TV from anywhere we can get a Wi-Fi connection and they love this app. They watch all their favorite shows and it keeps them quiet for hours. Another great website that my son loves is the Thomas the Train website. He can’t get enough of that!
